FEMA: Florence will be “a Mike Tyson punch to the Carolina coast.”

Jeff Byard, FEMA’s associate administrator for its response and recovery office, warned of the danger of Hurricane Florence as the storm surges toward the Carolinas.

“This is going to be a Mike Tyson punch to the Carolina coast,” he said.

Byard pleaded with residents to evacuate not only for their safety, but also for the safety of first responders.

Steve Goldstein with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says that with Florence’s slow movement, parts of coastal North and South Carolina could experience hurricane-force winds and hurricane conditions for 24 hours or more.

Once the storm moves inland, the threat of inland flooding increases, with 15 to 25 inches of rain forecast, and up to 40 inches near the exact center of Florence, Goldstein said.

Jeff Byard: “Today is the last good day to evacuate.”

As the east coast braces for Hurricane Florence, our thoughts and prayers are with the families faced with this storm. CAPS is all too familiar with the impacts of severe storms such as Hurricane Harvey that devastated our city, Houston, barely over a year ago.

We at Custom Air Products & Services, Inc. (CAPS) want everyone in the path of this storm to know that we are here to help! CAPS will have boots on the ground in the States of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. Stay tuned. We’ll be publishing updates as more information comes in.

Hurricane Florence, already a monster, is due to strengthen as 1 million people are told to flee the US East Coast

• As of 11 a.m. ET Tuesday, Florence’s center had maximum sustained winds of 130 mph and was about 905 miles east-southeast of Cape Fear, North Carolina.

• Florence is expected to restrengthen Tuesday and “be an extremely dangerous major hurricane through Thursday night,” the NHC said.

• Among the storm’s threats later this week: Life-threatening storm surges — up to 12 feet — along the coasts and up to 30 inches of rain into next week over parts of the Carolinas and mid-Atlantic states.

• Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for most of the South Carolina coastline, in Edisto Beach as well as from Charleston County northeast to Horry County, effective at noon Tuesday. They’ve also been ordered for parts of coastal North Carolina and Virginia.

• Though not every coastal area in North Carolina was under mandatory evacuation Tuesday morning, “I believe that people should be evacuating the coast of North Carolina,” Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Brock Long told CNN’s “New Day.”

• Hurricane and storm surge watches are in effect in those states, the National Hurricane Center said.

• The watches extend from Edisto Beach, South Carolina, northward to the North Carolina-Virginia border, including the Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds. Those areas are at risk for hurricane conditions and “life-threatening inundation from rising water moving inland from the coastline” during the next 48 hours, the NHC said.

• The hurricane’s center weakened slightly Tuesday morning, but the storm should get stronger, Meyers said Tuesday morning. “We do expect (the storm’s) eye to get its act together again later today and become that almost-Category 5 storm at 150 to 155 mph,” he said.

“There’s not much good metal left to patch,” Bramlett said recently of the ship, which is in the Houston Ship Channel in La Porte. “As long as she remains in the water her days are numbered. The salt water is wreaking havoc on the hull of that ship.”

“We pump about 300,000 gallons of water a day out of the Battleship Texas,” Bramlett said. “There are places on the ship where the hull is so thin you can poke your finger through it. So, we’re constantly pumping water out and patching holes, and the water is constantly seeping back in.”

As the Battleship Texas Foundation races against time to save the sole remaining Wold War 1 dreadnaught, local businesses step up to do their part.

In addition to Custom Air Products & Services, Inc., other entities have stepped up to help. These include but are not limited to the International game developer, Wargaming, makers of the popular online game, World of Warships.

World of Warships is a free-to-play naval warfare-themed massively multiplayer online game. Players have raised funds for the USS Texas by purchasing the Lone Star Texas bundle or the “Valor” flag, available through the game.
